Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention is directed to an electronic device forming a slot antenna by at least one slot on a metal casing and improving appearance design of the electronic device by the metal casing.
[0013]To sum up, in the present invention, at least one slot on the metal casing is used for forming the slot antenna. Thus, the metal casing of the present invention is not only used for improving the appearance design of the electronic device, but also used as the slot antenna so as to assure communication quality of the electronic device. Moreover, the slots on the metal casing are further are further used as sound-output ports of the speaker so as to facilitate miniaturization development of the electronic device.

Problems solved by technology

However, the appearance design with metallic sense brings the electronic device with a sense of fashion, but also brings a bigger challenge to antenna design of the electronic devices.
How to design the appearance of the electronic device and keep the communication quality has become a great challenge to the design of the electronic devices.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional perspective diagram illustrating an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. An electronic device 10 includes a metal casing 110, a first slot 120, a speaker 130, a system ground plane 140, a substrate 150 and a mesh structure 160. The metal casing 110 is electrically connected to the system ground plane 140. The metal casing 110 may be electrically connected to system ground plane 140 directly or through a conductive element, such as an elastic piece, a conductive gasket or any other type of conductive element. The first slot 120 passes through the metal casing 110, and the metal casing 110 forms a slot antenna by the first slot 120 so as to receive or transmit a first radio frequency signal.

[0021]The speaker 130, the system ground plane 140 and the substrate 150 are all disposed inside the metal casing 110, and the system ground plane 140 and the speaker 130 are disposed on the substrate 150. Additionally, in such c...
